This Request for Supplier Qualification (RFSQ) is an invitation by the University of Ottawa (University) to Contractors (Proponents) to submit proposals to be prequalified for the Berini Research Lab Project further described in Section 1.3 (the “Project”). The Contractor will act as the general contractor for the Project.
Project Information and General Scope of Work
The Project involves the construction of a sophisticated laboratory facility, comprising approximately 120 m² of clean room space, 80-100 m² of general laboratory space, and 50 m² of lab service areas, all integrated into a state-of-the-art research facility located within the Advanced Research Centre (ARC) . This Lab will feature clean rooms designed to support cutting-edge research in nanophotonic and optoelectronics, including optics and photonics, electromagnetics, numerical methods, and microfabrication. A portion of the Lab will be dedicated to the nanoscale fabrication of optoelectronic devices and integrated optical structures.
The Lab will house highly specialized and sensitive equipment such as electron-beam lithography, a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition reactor, an atomic layer deposition system, a laser deposition system, fume hoods, and systems for processed gas and water. The Lab’s environments must be meticulously controlled to function as clean rooms for all the purposes.
The goal of this submission is to identify the most qualified proponent(s) with the expertise and experience necessary to deliver performance-based solutions that are fit for purpose and meet the intended use.
